The Michigan Opportunity Radio Show ~ POWERING INNOVATION: Michigan’s Energy Future and Global Opportunity

Sept. 26, 2026 ~ Two conversations on WJR 760 AM The Great Voice Company, connected by a central theme: How energy innovation, technology, and global partnerships are creating new economic opportunities.

I spoke with Founder and CEO of Walker-Miller Energy Services, Carla Walker-Miller, about the evolving energy landscape, energy efficiency, clean energy solutions, and the role of innovation in building a more resilient and inclusive energy economy. Her work highlights how Michigan companies can combine technology, business growth, and community impact to help shape the future of energy.

In a separate interview, Paul Marinn of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) and Steven Hall of NOVI Energy discussed the intersection of international partnerships, energy infrastructure and global development. Their conversation explored how U.S. expertise, investment, and collaboration can help advance energy projects and open doors to new markets. From Michigan’s energy innovators to international infrastructure opportunities, these interviews reveal how technology, strategic partnerships, and forward-thinking leadership can help power economic growth. The future of energy is not just about how we generate power—it’s about how we innovate, collaborate, and create opportunity.
